Why choose Anantara Kihavah?

The resort sits in Baa Atoll and combines beach and overwater pool villas with access to a rich marine environment. The SEA underwater restaurant adds a distinctive dining experience without needing to make the entire trip about underwater accommodation.

Best for

  • Luxury honeymoons
  • Families wanting pool villas and resort variety
  • Snorkelling and diving-focused travellers
  • Guests who value unusual dining experiences

Beach or overwater?

Beach villas deliver direct sand access and tropical privacy. Overwater villas place the lagoon outside your deck. Both can work for couples; families should also consider ease of movement and the exact occupancy rules of each category.

Frequently asked questions
